Dr. Winfield Bevins joins Alex and Gary today on The Artistic Vision Podcast to discuss his artistic practice, in addition to introducing us to the organization he directs, CREO Arts. Winfield describes the 'quiet renaissance' of the arts that he is witnessing in the church across the world. He has a passion for mission, artistic community and the church--we discuss these topics and more on this episode!

Winfield Bevins is an internationally recognized author, artist, and the founding director of Creo Arts (http://www.creoarts.org/), which is a non-profit that exists to bring beauty, goodness, and truth to the world through the arts. Winfield is also artist-in-residence at Asbury Theological Seminary. He is the author of several books, including Liturgical Mission: The Work of the People for the Sake of the World, Ever Ancient Ever New: The Allure of Liturgy for a New Generation, and Marks of a Movement. As an artist, he describes his artwork as “modern inconography” because it explores the intersection where the past and the present meet through sacred art. He believes that we need new forms and expressions of ancient truths to speak to a new generation, that are connected to those who have gone before us, drawing fresh inspiration from the past for our faith for today through art. As an artist, he hopes that his art will invite viewers to slow down and pray to God who is “ever ancient, ever new.”
